What was South Carolina's basic argument for nullification?

History
1 answer:
boyakko [2]3 years ago
5 0

<em>A. A state had the right to choose not to follow a law it thought was </em>

<em>unconstitutional.</em>

Explanation:

South Carolina's basic argument for nullification was that a state had the right to choose not to follow a law it thought was unconstitutional.

The Nullification Crisis occurred because of tariffs. A tariff is essentially a tax on foreign products. The <u>North favored tariffs</u> because it helped make people in the United States buy from their businesses instead of foreign ones. The <u>South despised tariffs</u> because it made their goods less favorable to foreign countries, plus now if they were to buy goods from overseas, it would be more expensive.

South Carolina declared that the tariffs were "null and void" and that they would not be following them any longer. They believed that it was unconstitutional and did not have to follow it if they did not wish to. This raised tensions between the state government and the federal government and threatened the balance of power between the two.

In 150 to 200 words, analyze how the meiji restortation was similar and different from the changes instituted by Otto von Bismar
iren [92.7K]

Both the Meiji Restoration in Japan and the efforts of Chancellor Otto von Bismarck in the German Empire were focused on unifying, strengthening and modernizing the government and economy of their nations.  

Bismarck led the way in uniting the many German states and principalities into a single, powerful German Empire, created in 1871.  In Japan, prior to the Meiji Restoration, shogun rule (rule by military leaders) held control over part of the country, but feudal warlords maintained much power in their own lands.  In 1868, shogun rule was ended and the emperor was restored to full power over the country.

A push for rapid industrialization characterized both Germany and Japan in the latter portion of the 19th century.  

A key difference, however, was that the various German states had already begun industrializing before Bismarck came to power in Prussia and led the creation of the united German Empire. Bismarck's government strongly backed and increased industrialization efforts.   In Japan, before he period known as the Meiji Restoration, Japan was not focusing on industrialization.  Feudal arrangements persisted.  But  the new emperor took the name "Meiji," meaning "enlightened rule."  And under the reign of Emperor Meiji, which lasted till 1912, Japan aggressively pursued  modernizing and westernizing it economy and way of life.
